WupperAV Posted April 1, 2016 #26 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I was told they were bibs for getting a drink! HUH? None on Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted April 1, 2016 #27 Share Posted April 1, 2016 After 30+ years maintaining vacuum toilet systems, I can say that I don't remember ever seeing a toilet clog caused by "excessive toilet paper", the "wrong" toilet paper, kleenex or seat covers. Generally, any paper product that uses lightweight "pressed" paper fibers will go down the pipes. The problems come with using paper towels and things with "woven" paper fibers. Or, perhaps feminine products? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted April 1, 2016 #28 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Or, perhaps feminine products? That goes without saying. Though the applicators do tend to make it all the way down to the pumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvpends Posted April 1, 2016 Author #29 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Yes to seat covers on the Diamond three weeks ago. They also have the Japanese style toilets in some of the Ladies public restrooms and some cabins (mini suites and above). We also for the first time got quilted toilet paper (2 ply) which was a surprise as I also thought that it would block the system but there were no issues at all with system blockages during our cruise. I checked, and it is all 2-ply on Grand now also. This is day 6, and so far not a single blockage on this ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvpends Posted April 1, 2016 Author #30 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Will be on grand soon. Love this I predict that you will love this ship :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the cruise staff providing these statistics? Or is this a common topic of conversation on Princess ships? Because that would be a unique cruise in my experience. Just kidding, but my smilies aren't working today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted April 1, 2016 #32 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Princess ought to start using the "automagic" seat covers they had in O'Hare airport when I was there last year. They weren't in all public restrooms but some had seat covers that, when you pushed a button, they "revolved" around the seat to present you with a new surface. It seemed to be some sort of huge, continuous roll of cover that simply swished around from left to right and into the wall (or whatever, I didn't really examine the thing) and you had an entirely new surface. Perhaps I'm just a "Northern California Rustic" but I had never seen such a thing before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place I ever saw them in Northern California was at the old Paulo's in San Jose. When they moved it to the fancy new site, they went conventional, unfortunately.

cvpends Posted April 2, 2016 Author #36 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I've never heard tell of such a thing. Travel to Chicago; you will see. The Princess decision makers apparently never fly to that area or I am sure that they would insist on automagic seat covers in every public restroom on every ship. Really nifty!

cvpends Posted April 2, 2016 Author #37 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Another new thing I noticed on Grand this week were fresh flowers in the public restrooms. I don't think I remember seeing those on Princess ships before. Is this also a fleet wide improvement? Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted April 2, 2016 #38 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Sadly, I've never seen seat covers on any Princess ships, including the Grand last summer. That must be new, and I really hope they bring them fleet wide! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted April 2, 2016 #39 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I was on the Grand in December. I was shocked to see toilet seat protectors in the ladies room deck 6 forward. Don't know about all of the other rest rooms. Was in the Crown in January. No such modifications. Would love to see all ships with this addition.

I think that seat protectors and the new beds will be my requirements for all future bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
